We have left the city of San Salvador, and about an hour's journey from San
Salvador, we have come down to the coastline, here in El Salvador, called
El Tunco
*** CHEERFUL MUSIC ***
And El Tunco, is actually famous for surfing, it's the main surf place
here in El Salvador, and also beach hangouts and just a really cool chilled
Vibe here down by the coastline. And the weather is beating down on us the sea is
packed, it is the weekend everybody's having a really good time, and it's just got a
really really nice vibe.
*** MUSIC ***
So by day it's a really cool place to come and hang out, but by night it's even
better! if you're young and you want to party all night, because there's loads of
bars here on the seafront, which all come alive with music and partying at night
time. It's a really cool place, that if you come to El Salvador, I would
definitely recommend heading down to the coastline to come here to El Tunco.

So on this incredibly hot hot hot day, down in El Tunco beach we've bumped
into, the most inspirational and lovely guys who are from Spain. They are from
'All you need is road' They are Vanners too, in fact it's making me really van sick. I
really really, miss my van !! yeah yeah hi, we are here in El Tunco, San Salvador. We are Guama,
Lidia and Gaia, we are traveling since more than two years, in this VW bus and yeah
just having fun!! Amazing!! we try to keep travelling as much
as we can and try to reach one day Patagonia. Let's see what happened
there, yeah! So you are literally 'living the dream'? Yeah, sure, definitely, our plan is
no plan!!
We love that plan !! easy easy going. These guys have actually driven from the US all the way down to
San Salvador, and they're heading down - mind the traffic!! they just
heading south, so they're going to go down to Nicaragua, Costa Rica, what an amazing
thing to be doing in their van, and I can see that they support themselves through
hairdressing, because Lydia is a barber, there you go and selling bracelets and stuff that
they make on the road. yeah, Any regrets living the dream ? We're living the dream!!
So all of you guys at home sat at your desk, rethink!! Come over !! You can do it !! They have a YouTube
channel and also a Facebook page - is it Facebook? No Instagram and YouTube.
and Blogspot, so check them out they're so lovely,

The beach here in El Tunco is primarily a stone beach, but
there are some areas of sand where you can swim from, and loads of people go
swimming here, and in the evening, if you want to come and watch the surfers, when
the tides in, they all come out. And it's turning into a beautiful evening, it's
also one of the best places, if you want to come watch the sun go down over the
rock here in El Tunco, it's absolutely beautiful.

So where we are staying in our hostel, is actually probably about
five minutes walk from the main beachfront, where all the happening party
places are. So the advantage is that actually, it's nice and peaceful in the
evening, but yet you've got this beautiful walk by the bay here, and this
little Inlet of water, which leads up to the back gate of our hostel
